2024-07-08
ATLANTA, July 8, 2024 – Rheem®, the
Atlanta-based manufacturer of water heating and HVAC products, donated $10,000 to
Atlanta-headquartered, Habitat for Humanity® International, on July 2, following a successful six-week Charity
Miles challenge.
Rheem employees embarked on a wellness journey
that allowed them to earn miles for Habitat.
Between May 6 and June 14, more than 130 employees volunteered to log
their biking, walking, or running on the Charity Miles app, which turns miles
logged into money for charity. Collectively, the Rheem volunteers completed 14,512 miles of exercise to reach the company’s goal. That's more than three round trips between Atlanta and
Los Angeles, a testament to the power of collective action!
"We are proud to support Habitat for
Humanity International's mission to help communities worldwide. We are also
proud to support and encourage our employees wherever they are on their health
and wellness journeys,” said Dipa Homer, executive vice president, global human
resources and communications, Rheem. “A stable home is key to building careers
and brighter futures. This donation represents another step in Rheem’s
commitment to Atlanta and serving those striving to provide reliable and safe
homes for their families.”
Habitat
for Humanity’s mission to help millions achieve strength, stability, and
self-reliance through affordable housing represents a seamless partnership for
Rheem, which is in the business of bringing heating and cooling comfort into
people’s homes.
“Every day, the people at Rheem work hard to
design, build and produce the best whole-home solutions for hot water, heating and cooling for homes worldwide. As we do
that, we are mindful that for far too many people, a home is out of reach,”
said Greg Miller, senior vice president and general manager, US water heating
division, Rheem. “That’s why this partnership between Rheem and Habitat for
Humanity is so meaningful and necessary.”
Throughout its nearly 100 years in business, Rheem has remained committed to doing good for its customers,
partners, employees, communities—and the planet. Rheem is focused on creating a
social impact by involving and encouraging employees to take part in ongoing
outreach initiatives.
